Not entirely, it also makes the videos easier to watch even if you have lots of time. A slow trickle of information just makes my brain shut down in frustration. And some people just speak annoyingly slow.

Try it on this interview with William Gibson. His slightly slurred normal speech sounds vastly better at 1.5, even though the interviewer sounds a bit rapid.

I don't have that option. Not available in the Netherlands I guess.
But I get why you want to listen to this interview in 1.5 speed.

It is working now for me. The time-stretching of the audio sometimes makes it hard to understand at 1,5x speed. I really have to pay 1,5x times more attention to English and German. For Dutch language it's alright.

Now when people accuse me of replying to quickly in a thread and not watching 2,5 hours of 'undeniable proof' from beginning to end, I can blame it on the speed control.
